Timber Creek, Triton in Playoff Position in Group IV Through Four Games

Two Black Horse Pike Regional School District football teams are in playoff position at the halfway point to the cutoff mark, according to the NJSIAA Football Power Point Standings posted on nj.com.

Timber Creek (4-0, 42 points) is in second place in South Jersey Group IV, two points behind Shawnee (4-0, 44 points).

Triton (3-1, 28 points) is in fifth place in the same group.
